I buy this http://www.amazon.com/Certified-Organic-Hard-Wheat-Sprouting/dp/B000E7QYNG?ie=UTF8&psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_search_detailpage because I like wheat grass juice :) I am pretty sure you can buy it at a local feed store cheap to. Takes about 8-10 days to grow. I usually have three...

omg When we were cooking breakfast this morning we cracked an eggs that had been growing. I guess it had gotten pushed out of the nest and my kids grabbed it. My worst nightmare came true. Seriously, I am never letting he hens out of their run again. It is the neighbor rooster hooking up with...

How large is their run area? You can always grow fodder as well. My hens love it. Cheaper than sod.

Will she miss her babies that already hatched? Will she remember them? All of the eggs are fertilized so that shouldnt be a problem. Is it ok to move the mama at this point? Our nesting boxes are a foot off the floor so I wanted to move her into a private suite (chicken tractor) before...

One of my Buff Orpingtons is broody often. I decided to let her have a few days worth of eggs and try to raise some babies :) I had good intentions. I marked the eggs with a pencil. Well my 10 year old did while I held Pumpkin (the mama). She did not mark them very well. When I collected eggs...

My chickens have only been allowed out of the run a dozen times or so when I am working outside in the evenings over the last month. They always stuck close to the coop. Then we gave our rooster away over the weekend. Yesterday I let them out and they went further then before. Today I let them...

I finally found a new home for him! It is a non profit farm project with 240 hens. They are getting several roosters,but he will be much better off with lots of ladies. My girls are so much happier. They are however more nervous when I let them out of the run. They stick closer to the door. I...

My BOs will lay different sized eggs so it could be hers. My 2 EEs and 2 blue Ameracuanas just started laying. I was hoping for 2 blue layers and 2 olive layers. Nope, they all lay bright blue! I think EE are the same as Olive eggers.

Sorry, I went out of town and didnt see this! He is still in with the hens tormenting them. The big girls have no feathers on the tops of their heads and have wounds on their combs. I found someone to come get him but they flaked out. I am going tomorrow to post him on a bulletin board at...

Mine will randomly start laying in different spots. When they do I place a piece of firewood in that spot. Next day they lay back in the box and I remove the wood. Then a few months later they will start laying in a different spot and I repeat the process. I think one will get lazy and lay...

I am by no means an expert but I know that too many roosters is a problem. I tried to explain it to her. Hopefully she understands and hopefully nobody will sell her that many roosters. :(

I have my big rooster listed on craigslist. He has to go. Well I had a woman call me yesterday morning about him. She asked how many I was selling. I told her just one rooster. She kept saying she needed a lot. I thought she was meaning she needed a rooster and lots of hens. She did not speak...

It is a 5D Mark lll. I am a photographer :) My husband complains when I take my expensive camera and lens to the coop lol

Got two more today!

Thanks! My husband thought I was nuts for taking photos of eggs lol

Grabbing him at night will be difficult. We did not design our coop very well, we did not know what we were doing. It is 4x8 and the little chicken door opens into the run. On the opposite side there is a lid for the nesting boxes. Then on the 4 ft sides one end is against our barn and the other...

I am not sure what to do at this point. I cannot catch him :( My girls have bald heads and bleeding combs. They look terrible! They are all scared to come out of the coop in the mornings. He will run out first thing then after a few minutes of them not coming out he goes back in and chases them...

I have been patiently waiting and it has been a long wait. They are 6 months old now. There are two Easter Eggers and two Ameracuanas. Not sure who laid it but I am grateful it was there! It is much smaller than the eggs from our Buff Orpingtons but it is beautiful!

Ok so I have 8 hens and ended up with 3 roosters. One did not develop much, he has an impacted crop that will not go away so we are keeping him comfortable. The other two grew big and it was obvious one was the guy in charge. He kept the other one at bay and we all kinda felt sorry for the...
